Guest Reviews
- Aaren (8/5): - walkable to places, great breakfast.
- Juverne (6/5): - No towels
- Daniel (6/5): - First time and last time booking a hostel. The room was tiny for me and my companion. Bathroom had no working vents and the room itself had no window to open. Air quality was very dry and in need of a humidifier.
- Verna (10/5): - Perfect for our group. Impressive!
- Verna (10/5): - Perfect for big groups and the layout is impressive!
- Vinicius (6/5): - Housekeeper never check shower room i noticed midt of the shower gel container empty no refilling moreover Iron and hairdryer not in working condition. Lastly only one elevator serve from Ground floor to 13 floor it was so pack during office hours. That's ridiculous avoid stay here if you have no patient waiting for elevator. I won't recommend ly travel l buddy to stay here.
- Astra (8/5): - Okay
- Astra (8/5): - Ok
- Josh (6/5): - There wasn't much within walking distance.
- Ryan (8/5): - Not bad for a hostel. They try hard to make a plesant stay. Stayed four knights. The king bed was two twin mattresses pushed together on th floor. Breakfast was decent.
- Trekaria (10/5): - It’s enough
- Alex (10/5): - Great place to stay near the airport and near good restaurants and site seeing
- Jer (8/5): - Nice place
- Alex (10/5): - Awesome
- Kimberly (6/5): Okay stay, low value - Pros: Lub d is in a great location, close to everything and very walkable. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Great common space with lots of seating. Strong wifi, good AC. Decor is modern. Cons: Poor breakfast (don’t bother paying for it, go elsewhere). For a “deluxe” private room, the walls are threadbare (you can hear everything from the hallway and your neighbours). The “double bed” is actually 2 twin beds, so you can feel the lump where they meet. Elevators are slow, especially if you’re on a high floor. They don’t service your room, so you will have to call to get trash emptied, more toilet paper, etc. TV does not have streaming / smart functionality, despite signage in the room. Water pressure is low and intermittent.
- kenneth (10/5): great stay - It was most enjoyable, great value
- Michelle (10/5): - Great staycation place in Makati
- Vince (6/5): - For the price that i payed it was unexpected. They couldnt even provide you a bottle opener. You need to go to the lobby for you to open ur bottle. No parking lot.
- Richard (8/5): - Great property but once time my breakfast bacon was a bit raw, which was not ok. Additionally the internet in my room was horrible!
- Sándor József (10/5): - Modern, loft-like building, and a very helpful staff
- Kris (10/5): - I hotel hop Makati area during my 2 week stay and this is easily the best place to stay in the area for the price. Safe, clean, walkable to food, entertainment and activities nearby. The lobby has a mini mart, sitting/lounge area, there is a roof deck restaurant. I forgot to actually see it before I left. The rooms are large and nice. I will definitely be booking here again.
- Phillip (10/5): - everything you need around you.
- Misael (2/5): - Lost my key card inside the room, wasn't able to shower before checking out. Someone got my card and turned it over to the housekeeping staff as what they said, but the staff never checked if the person associated to the key card have checked-out or not. The bed set up is also terrible, they use old comforter, blanket and pillow case. The smell inside my bed is also making me dizzy. The bedding is also itchy.
- Kariana (10/5): Awesome place to stay - Always friendly staff, loved playing the spin game, great rooms and shower with hot water. Great amenities. Always come back here thanks
- Kariana (10/5): Awesome stay - Amazing. Really friendly staff. Luxury clean room with all the amenities. Had the best night sleep so far in Manila. Definitely staying again. However won’t pay for the breakfast as for the same price I’d rather order off the breakfast menu. Buffet was limited but cooked well. Lots of activities here and a great set up.
- Ted (10/5): - For the price it’s a good value!
- Reginaldo (8/5): Avoid the 12th floor due to noise from restaurant - Great location. Reasonably priced. Rooms are nice and clean, but the beds are not comfortable. I stayed here several nights in three different rooms, located on three different floors. There is a restaurant/bar on the 13th floor. AVOID the rooms on the 12th floor. You will hear the sound of chair being dragged on the floor constantly, coming from the 13th floor.
- Grace (8/5): - Affordable
- Bryce (6/5): - Overall good experience
- Patricia (8/5): - Safe and clean
- Abu (10/5): - Everything was good
- JOSE (10/5): Lub is the best hostel/hotel (aside from Ola!) - One of the best hostels that I have ever visited. Definitely the top one aside from Ola in another part of the city. Prime location. Amazing rooms. Cool common areas. Free gift upon arrival by spinning a wheel: I earned 400 PHP, which I used on their beautiful rooftop bar/restaurant. The bunks have stairs, not a ladder, which is much more convenient and safe. Including myself, there were only two people in my mixed dorm. Safe street with armed guard at the door 24/7. In the heart of the red light district, but blocks away from noisy and dangerous streets. Amazing customer service from the staff and hotels.com (which I recommend over Agoda). Beautiful, clean bathrooms with a washing machine and ironing board. No bugs anywhere. Would love to visit again.
- NIKKA KRISTA DANO (10/5): - Amazing location and price
- Alan (10/5): - We like the place. Clean premises and breakfast was good.
- Aarika (10/5): - Lub D was a nice stay. The room is spacious and comfortable. The common room has games and some necessities and beers for sale also a coffee shop with some desserts. The rooftop bar has nice views and food is not bad. They have a happy hour which is nice but unfortunately during my stay they were out of draft beer and bottles of the same were not included. I wish they had a little more things planned for people staying to meet each other easier, everyone in the common area was working and the group chat seemed to only have locals in it so it was really hard to meet people here. Also the area is not very good outside the hotel. It’s quite dirty and seems to have a homeless population in the building next door. The traffic where the hotel is located is also horrendous. Overall a good stay but it could be better if the staff put on more meet and greet activities.
- Mitchell (10/5): - Great stay in Manila. Nice area with lots of restaurants and bars around. Takes approx 1hr to get into the old city, but that's Manila traffic for you. Clean, quiet rooms, nice view of the city skyline
- Britney (10/5): - Very affordable hotel. Rooms are small but very modern and are amazing for the price you pay. Very clean and staff were great.
- Tao (10/5): - Good Hotel in unsafe downtown manila
- Tao (8/5): - A safe and friendly environment in the midst of unsafe and unclean downtown area.
- David (10/5): - The property is great, good location and overall great. I stayed on the 12th floor and didn't like the staff banging something on the 13th floor every morning at 7am.
- Lourdes (8/5): - Good rooms and amenities. Mold smell in the hallways
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location, easy access to public transportation, close to business establishments particularly restaurants & convenient stores.
- Gigliola (6/5): Excellent price - The work team is good and very friendly, you can see the effort they make to keep the establishment clean, the rooms for 4 guests are very, very small considering the space that suitcases take up...the price is excellent, the restaurant and The breakfasts are not the best but they meet the need... one or another cockroach circulating around the facilities but I suppose in the Philippines it is a normal matter but not pleasant for the guests...
- Tai (8/5): - Slightly off the beaten path, Lub D is a nice hidden gem. Easily accessible to all your needs and wants within a short walking distance.
- Nina (8/5): - Staff are very kind
- Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing dorm - I stayed in the 6 bed women’s dorm and it was truly one of the best hostel dorms I’ve ever seen. Top or bottom bunk it doesn’t matter they’re all good. You have private space. It’s nice. Great location. Great locker setup- everyone had a private space. The only negative is that the wait for the elevator can be long but there’s always the stairs!
- Van Cornelius (10/5): Comfortable, convenient, and eco-friendly - It was a very nice experience, even better than my first time. The guard who assisted me in the parking was very approachable and supportive. My lavatory clogged up as soon as I got settled. I called front desk to request assistance. In less than 5 minutes, maintenance came and worked on it. Fixed in no time. I guess I was lucky with parking for the duration of my stay. I like the concept of recyclable water bottle in the room, and water dispenser in the hallway. I wasn't sure if it was indicated in the booking agreement but there was no toothbrush and toothpaste so I just bought. The lobby felt welcoming and didn't feel formal like in a hotel. I prefer this dorm feeling. The box containing the coffee cups, water bottle, and water heater had some cobwebs. The upper part of the walls of the toilet could afford some wiping.
- Fatima (10/5): - Need foot towel in bath room.
- Eric (8/5): Overall recommended - Pros: - good location - clean - nice rooftop bar - friendly staff Cons: - drinks are way too expensive and not super easy to mingle - my room had to be changed twice because I couldn't get any hot water
- Janis (10/5): - I really enjoyed this hotel/hostel. Good location, was easy to get transportation by Grab, stuff usually friendly. I would probably come back to this place again.
- Glyza (10/5): - felt safe the whole time. perfect location
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Quality of interior materials used in the rooms and the bathrooms. The wide enough stairs in going up the upper deck.
- Stephen (8/5): - Cleanliness of room and accomodation floors are great, however level 2 reception floor is looking very tired and worn out It wouldn’t be a bad idea to steam clean the fabric seats and repair the floor power outlets. The pool table for example should have been replaced a few years ago. It’s a real shame as the staff are very good and the actual room areas are presented well.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great staff, very clean rooms, and the restaurant food has improved.
- Grace (6/5): Average to poor - Really uncomfortable bed. Rooftop bar food horrible and bad service
- Carlos (8/5): - Well designed, fun hotel. Great reception area and rooftop bar. Very noisy rooms if you stay on the main road side and we were on the 5th floor. Also quite noisy corridors as the place is full of treny youngsters coming in and out and not always quietly.
- Anabeee (10/5): - Very cozy and doesn't feel like a hostel. It feels like a hotel indeed.
- Luzares (2/5): - Already late checkin, past 12MN and Room was not ready. Airconditioning not functioning well and upon request the technician cleaned the filter. No more available bath towel and supplied rather by 3 hand towels but it comes like a foot towel. Plated standard Breakfast provided, the bacon difficult to chew. No parking provided and my request not answered by the Front Desk Manager . I have to park my car at Seda Residences Makati and just took premium grab taxi back and forth. A terrible experience..the price ($51 ) not worth my stay of only less than 6 hours.
- Philip (10/5): - Great!
- Philippines (10/5): - The hotel is incredible, the room was to die for, big, open, and luxurious. The breakfast was served in two different locations, via your choice, and maybe the best breakfast buffet I’ve had. The service and attitude within the entire hotel was so pleasant, especially after a 15 flight! My stay was a pure joy. Thank you Raffles. Phil Rivera
- Jc (8/5): - Location and the customer service of the hotel attendant
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great check in staff Room well presented and very clean Over priced meeting rooms - more expensive then some 5 star hotels I’ve stayed in. Nice idea about the quiet/chill out room - but fairly pointless when the music in the main area is being pumped out so loud.
- Guy (10/5): - Great staff, very friendly and clean. Good location for great night life
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean rooms and welcoming staff. The appearance of the front desk deceives you into thinking it is not a cool CB place. But it is cool
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Decent hotel, decent price
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I like the Room arrangement quite unique
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We loved the location in Makati as it was convenient to shop, eat, and get a cheap massage. We had a great full breakfast each morning included in our affordably priced room. We had great views of the city. The WIFI worked great when on the 6th floor or below, but not so great above the 6th floor. Shower had great water pressure and was warm. They also included shampoo, handsoap, and bodywash. They even opened the door each time you arrived at the hotel. There are plenty of snacks available for purchase if needed and games available if you get bored. The staff was very helpful when we needed help with tours or rides.
- DIANNE TWINKLE (8/5): good for sleep and go hostel - I stayed at the hotel for almost 2 weeks and if you are used to hotel style like being greeted at the hall ways and assisted by staff do not expect that here to happen the hotel gets busy and most of the staff are not that friendly. It's not that I have issues with some staff but you would observe things when you hangout at the lobby area at the 2nd floor. It even gets loud when the place is full and check in time is high. you have to be mindful when the place is busy and do not expect to be serve properly or be prioritized not gonna happen at the 2nd floor. If you want it more relaxed you can go to pods area at the lobby or try there roof top restaurant where people are more friendly and accommodating food is good but doesn't have that much option. the skype room and theater area is nice but it gets full easily.
- StephenHutcheon (6/5): - This is the first time I have stayed at this franchise, though I was initially impressed, there are so many things that let it down, which is a real shame considering a large majority of the staff are helpful and friendly. Firstly the things that clearly earn a 5 out of 5: Welcoming and check-in: very friendly and very efficient - certainly up there with the best 5 star hotels I have stayed in. Cleanliness: absolutely spotless! Very impressed! Room cleaning and service: Again excellent! Room and bathrooms cleaned to a very high standard. Room maintenance call: from my inability to use the TV correctly! They were there within minutes The items that score 1 to 2 out of 5: The top floor restaurant..the food quality is extremely poor, and god forbid you should ask one of the guys behind the counter a question...very rude and arrogant response. Certainly a change in management is needed in this area..and I would suggest this is made quickly. The customer service and care of food and drink quality is so poor it is mind boggling that the staff would have any motivation or enjoyment from their jobs. There was one exception which was a young guy with a Viking tattoo on his arm, who was very friendly and has great customer service...perhaps place him as the Manager...at least he cared and knew what customer service was all about!! Would I stay there again? Perhaps...just for the fact the 5 out of 5 as detailed above, but I would be avoiding the restaurant.
- Marc (8/5): Good place - Good place in good condition with a really fair price. The rooms are a little noisy. We stayed in a 4 persons room and its a little small for 4 persons with a lot of luggage. The breakfast could be better. Wifi was really good! Anyway, would definitely stay here again. Its a 7/10.
- Karah (10/5): - Liked the interiors of the property! From the lobby, to the rooms, and even the rooftop restaurant. Value for money 👍
- Bea (6/5): - price is good. room is nice but parking is terrible if you get there late night
- Manong36 (10/5): - For the price point and to just have a place to stay, it's an excellent choice. It's in a traffic congested area, so it's better to walk to short distances. Wifi is not that great. It's way better than a regular hostel or some 3-stars hotel but still can't be compare to a Hyatt. Will definitely stay again.
- TravelLikeLocal (8/5): - The place is amazing! Location is great, staff is friendly, the beds are modern and spacious. The only thing is the hairdryer didn’t work and the dryer didn’t wash my clothes (and I only washed 4 items yet they were still soaked). Everything else was absolutely perfect and I would recommend to anyone coming to Manila.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice place here ,new building, and Staffs,employees are cooperative
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Clean, modern, good wifi, good location, friendly staff
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Cleanliness, price, rooftop restaurant, customer service.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The dorm rooms are very spacious and the beds are a good size and comfortable.
- bao (10/5): - Very modern and cute place. The space was very efficiently organized. And pricing was decent. Wish I knew the place in advance and stayed more nights if I could
- Alice (10/5): - I like the cleanliness of the room, bed, pillows and linens are clean and soft. There is a coin-operated washer and drier (Laundry room), i dont need to go out and look for one. The restaurant in the 13th flr has a very nice view of the City, very private, and the food is great, the only thing is service is kinda slow.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - My favorite place to stay in the city ♥️
- Verified traveler (6/5): Room is great, that's all - Pros: The room was nice and clean. Very modern and the concept is great. Cons: The area is really noisy, like very noisy due to the honking, traffic and bars that are open till late. Within the hotel, people and staff always talking loudly at the corridor. If you're a light sleep like me, this will be a nightmare.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Using Card instead of a key,
- Janine (10/5): - Had a great time! The rooms are clean and nice.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Staff were all very welcoming and accommodating. The room was clean and bed was comfortable. Would definitely recommend for a short trip.

- Verified traveler (10/5): - There is nothing that i dont like about this property. They had the best service, very very clean, and the staff were very friendly and helpful especially the security guard. Very highly recommended.
- Jay Anne (10/5): Great hostel in Makati! - Great hostel for cheap price! Staff are very friendly. Will be staying here again!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This is a hostel with hotel standards, with the perks of both hotel and hostel. Hotel being that, with a private room, it’s clean, beds were made daily, necessities replenished. Hostel being that there’s a whole floor to hang out and socialise for games and even a theatre! Everything was great!
- Xi Jie Wesley (8/5): - the problem I faced was the poor internet connection. As a business traveler internet connectivity is very important beside the cleanliness of the room.
- Maria Erika (10/5): WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK - Not your typical hostel. Love our room. Love the lobby. Love the location. Love the rates as well. Looking forward to staying to other LubD Hostels. :)
